The Eighth Judicial District Advisory Council agreed to recommend Cascade County's current Standing Master, attorney David Joseph Grubich, and Judge Michele Reinhart Levine to Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte to fill the vacancy on the court during their meeting Wednesday. The council decided to rank their choices with Grubich being the council’s first choice.
The council, assembled by Gianforte and made up of lawyers, a former judge, former law enforcement and local leaders in the community, unanimously agreed that both Grubich and Levine had the qualifications and experience to do the job.
Former Cascade County District Court Judge Greg Pinski, who participated in the meeting via telephone, spoke to Grubich’s tempered nature as the current standing master of the Eighth Judicial District.
